     I'm happy with my progress so far in this course. While I may have missed a few assignments over the past few weeks, it was always for good reason, and I will be able to do the extra credit options to make them up. One of the main changes I will do is the story planning posts. Doing one of those was helpful and allowed me to create a better story. Having a week in between the reading the story and creating my own allows me to think about what I want to write more. I am happy with how the course has been structured thus far and I am looking forward to continuing with it for the remainder of the semester.

Being abroad in Italy studying chemical engineering sparked my love of travel, and while I don't think I will have the time nor money to go back to Europe soon, I have continued traveling domestically using the skills I learned abroad. I also love music. I haven't been to a lot of concerts, but I am a big fan of folk and bluegrass music, and I am trying to get to a couple of concerts before the end of the semester.

However, with school and my other hobbies, I typically cook like a college student. While I try to spend as much time as I can on hobbies and hanging out with my friends, studying at OU is very important to me. Fl

After months of raising their young, the Cranes’ offspring finally flew away from home to live their own lives, but left their parents hungry and tired. They were flying around for days unable to find food until the Cranes happened upon a pond. It was the height of summer, and the pond and the animals in it were heating up. Seeing this, the Cranes came up with a plan. They would gain the animals’ trust to allow the Cranes to bring them to a bigger lake and a better life. However, the Cranes were not going to bring them to the lake. They would stop short only to kill and eat them. Despite the pond being full of the life, the Cranes knew they would likely become hungry quickly if they ate all the animals too fast. To keep themselves fed longer, the Cranes planned to make the nearby lake sound like a couple hour trip. After devising the plan, the Cranes descended on the lake to speak with the animals and gain their trust
